I have been turning for a few months and now that I have my personal stock built up, I would like to start making pens for others. The few people I have talked with so far have surprisingly expressed the most interest for smaller and more basic pens such as Slimlines and maybe Sierras. I always figured that the bigger pens like Jr. Gents/Statesmen would be more favored. I haven't gotten opinions from very many people yet so maybe the people that I have talked to so far aren't a good representation. What does everyone else find that people tend to prefer? I know I enjoy turning a more complicated pen much more than a simple pen, but I also want to give people pens they are going to use. On the other hand, the bigger flashier pens tend to attract more attention and would more likely be a conversation starter. (i.e. "That's a cool pen, where did you get it?")
Thanks,
Matt
